Fair enough. Sorry, I did not intend to challenge you - you did already initially mention that you were new in the Rust team. This question has come up before in the past, but I don't recall where (possibly in a discrete conversation). I will keep this one open, but tagged wontfix and moreinfo until clarified why it is needed.
